I had to read a bunch of PDFs at night during exams.
Black text on a white background caused significant eye strain, and existing extensions did not provide enough customization for readability and comfort.
PDF Dark Mode was built to solve that problem with adjustable reading controls and additional viewing modes.
finally something that handles my downloaded pdfs too, not just the ones in chrome. the warm paper tone is easy on my eyes at night.
Would love to see a keyboard shortcut toggle so I can flip between dark and light mode instantly without clicking the extension icon. Also a sepia or warm tone option would be easier on the eyes during long reading sessions.
Really exciting to see PDF Dark Mode live today. Big congratulations to everyone behind it! 🚀🚀
Been using this for a while and it works great on most PDFs. One thing that would be nice is the ability to save separate color presets for different document types, like one warm tone for reading articles and a higher contrast mode for technical manuals with diagrams. Would save me from adjusting settings every time I switch between work docs and ebooks.
been using this for a few days and honestly the offline PDF support is what sold me, most dark mode tools skip that part. the contrast slider is a small touch but makes a real difference on long reading sessions.
Would love to see a per-site color override so I can keep Google Scholar PDFs in a softer dark gray for late-night reading.
The way PDF Dark Mode handles both online and offline files without making you dig through settings feels really thoughtful, and the customization options let me dial in contrast exactly how I want it.
